Motives is a short (20 minutes playing time) visual novel. Don is a mechanic; he's taking college classes to get a degree in Business Administration. Misty is a classmate of his; they are study partners. Will their relationship deepen, or will Don try to trick Misty? Will Don find the love of his life in the arms of Misty or will he pursue a mysterious hitchhiker with an attitude? There are three endings; your decisions determine his fate.

This is not a fuck-fest. While this visual novel does contain sexually explicit scenes, my purpose is to tell a story.

System requirements: Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7, and a video card or chip capable of running DirectX9c.

I finally got around to playing this. Neat concept.

Rats! I was forgetting you use that Novelty software! What is it it needs, is it Silverlight or .net or something? It only works within certain limits under Wine -- I suppose I shall have to drop out of Linux and fire up Win7 if I want to get past the interaction options for Misty and Don

@Rikwar,
I'm glad you like it. I'm working on a new one, which should be ready by late September.

Very respectfully,
